Farmacy

There are many rural areas across the region where residents must travel significant distances to shop at supermarkets. Keeseville, New York is about 25 miles south of Plattsburgh and its only supermarket closed several years ago. In 2017, a project to bring fresh locally produced food to underserved areas opened the first “Farmacy” – spelled with an “F” — in the state inside the Keeseville Pharmacy. This week the program will expand to a second village in rural Essex County.
